The potted history of Marco Boogers spectacular Hammers career goes thus. Signs in 1995 and plays the grand total of 83 minutes for the club. Gets sent off 90 seconds into this second game for a "sickening" tackle on Gary Neville (and they label him a failure!). Disapears from sight and is found in a mobile home on a Dutch caravan site with 2 pencils up his nose, his pants on his head and a letter from his doctor declaring him "mentally unfit" to play football. Leaves the club!

After retiring from football, Tomas Brolin settled to become a businessman and returned to his homeland where he owns an Italian-Swedish restaurant called "Undici" (Italian for "11", the number he wore in Parma). He also invested money in real estate and - to some public amusement - in a firm selling a new type of mouthpiece for vacuum cleaners. Tomas has also played in Swedish non-league football, intriguingly as a goalkeeper for Hudiksvalls A.B.K. where his brother Håkan Brolin played. He has also released a song in Sweden; the accompanying video features Brolin lying in a hottub surrounded by stereotypically blonde Swedish ladies. Friends in Need - "Alla Vi

Didnt Lars Elstrup go a bit mental ? Joined some kind of cult or something, maybe got arrested ? Not exactly a 'top' player but has a Euro '92 winners medal (i think).

Bas Savage hardly coveted himself in glory. Reading then ended up at Staines a few years back I think.
He was in non league before Reading though, think I remember him playing for Walton and Hersham. Have a feeling he's at Brighton now.
Chris Wreh had a right attitude on him apparently, didnt like training much at Buckingham.
Mark Nicholls who played Champions league for Chelsea has been in non league for a while now, once tried to start on our fans after getting stick for how his career had nosedived
